Explanation:

The given segment has an error of preposition. At describes position at a specific point and is used with a larger place (a store, bank, or airport) and before the names of group activities. In refers to the position within large areas or in spaces that surround something on all sides. The given segment signifies the economic productivity within an agrarian society. The correct usage is ‘in’ and not ‘at’. Hence, 'economic productivity in an agrarian society' is the correct answer.
